And in a series of tests using websphere, after our tuning effort, a J2EE application runnign under WAS 5.1 with NO RACF authentication on an 2.1 GHZ intel box with gigabit ethernet is getting clobbered by the SAME application on z/linux under WebSphere 5.1 with RACF authentication (which is adding time to the test). 937 seconds to complete on the windex box going against DB2 on the mainframe vs 250 seconds using z/linux and WebSphere in a tuned environment using all of the available performance tweaks of that environment. This is repeatable.
